Kylian Mbappe’s future remains uncertain despite his contract expiring at the end of the season, as Paris Saint-Germain is determined to retain the superstar. Mbappe opted not to trigger the one-year extension on his current contract over the summer, giving him the freedom to choose his next destination. This decision left PSG disappointed, and as a consequence, the club excluded him from their preseason trip, causing a stir before the season began.
While Real Madrid has long been considered the frontrunner for the 24-year-old and is expected to be his summer destination, there’s a recent rumor suggesting that two Premier League teams, Liverpool and Chelsea, are planning a bold bid for the striker in January. According to reports from the Italian magazine La Gazzetta dello Sport via Le 10 Sport, both English clubs are ready to present Mbappe with significant offers.
However, it’s important to note that a January transfer is highly unlikely due to PSG’s reluctance to lose a key player mid-season. This scenario would require a substantial offer, which is currently challenging to envision. It’s more probable that Mbappe will either sign a short-term contract or leave for free next summer, allowing PSG to receive compensation for his departure. Ultimately, it seems increasingly likely that he will don the white jersey of Real Madrid.
